Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They
provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary for the
range to keep cool and operate properly with correct
combustion.
Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at
the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottom
of the range.

Main Oven
Your oven has six rack positions in the main oven.
Recommended rack positions for various types of
foods are provided in the Cooking Guide. Adjusting
rack position is one way to impact cooking results. For
example, if you would prefer darker tops on cakes,
muffins, or cookies, try moving food one rack position
higher. If you find foods are too brown on top try moving
them down next time.
When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks,
ensure there is sufficient space between pans to allow
air to flow.
Oven Racks
When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out
to the bump (stop position) on the rack support.
To remove a rack, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up
and pull it out.
To replace, place the curved end of the rack (stop-locks)
onto the oven supports, tilt up the front of the rack and
push the rack in.
Racks may become difficult to slide. Put some vegetable
oil on a soft cloth or paper towel and rub onto the left
and right edges.
Broil Drawer
(on some models)
Always use the broil pan and grid that comes with your
range.
The broil drawer has three broiling positions [A (bottom
of the broil drawer), B (middle), and C (top)]. To broil in
position B or C, slide the pan into the drawer such that
the handles rest on the supports. For broiling in position
A, place the pan directly on the bottom of the broil
drawer.
